I stumbled upon this natural beauty’s blog last year while doing a Google search for “fashion bloggers with natural hair”. This was the first post I read of hers and I’ve been hooked ever since. Knowing I’d seen her somewhere before, a quick scan of previously downloaded pics revealed that YES… she was once featured on CurlyNikki.com. Love how she embraces her kinks! Say hello! Hi all!
